November 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Warren G says he once teamed up with Snoop Dogg and Russell Simmons in an attempt to convince Def Jam to let him regain his rights to his masters, but the move was unsuccessful. He recalled the attempt and discussed his frustration with the record label during a recent interview with Bootleg Kev. “I reached out to ’em, sh*t me, Snoop [Snoop Dogg] and Russell [Russell Simmons] even tried to talk to the counsel and tried to make it happen,” Warren G revealed, as caught by AllHipHop. “They was like, ‘no’. It’s like damn. That’s just like a slap in the face.”

From there, he brought up how much he did for the record label and expressed his hope that perhaps they’ll honor his wishes all these years later. “And that’s even like today, I’m like, I would think that they would talk to UMG, Def Jam, and say, ‘look, this dude did a lot for us,’” he continued. “He saved us. He got us out the red. Let’s reward him back, honor him and give him his masters. Let’s not make him wait another four years, let’s give it to ’em right now. Why juice me for the rest of the—y’all been juicing me for 30 years?”

DaBaby Toys With DaniLeigh’s Brother Amid $4 Million Lawsuit

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DaBaby says he isn’t worried about the lawsuit DaniLeigh’s brother, Brandon Bills, has brought against him over a 2022 altercation at a bowling alley. Discussing the $4 million lawsuit with Bootleg Kev for a recent interview, DaBaby labeled it “the easiest case I’ve ever had to beat.” He alleged that he was acting in self-defense in the viral video showing him fighting with Bills during the incident.

“Threatening me on camera with all the platforms out there—doesn’t make sense,” he said. “You’re gonna have to pay those lawyer fees, my boy. They ain’t making me pay. That’s gonna be the easiest case I’ve ever had to beat.”

Bills alleged that Baby’s actions left him with “severe injuries, psychological harm, and hefty medical bills” and wants $2 million in general damages and another $2 million in special damages. At the time of his initial filing, DaBaby’s attorney, Drew Findling, shut down the legitimacy of the lawsuit. “It’s offensive that this individual, who instigated the confrontation, is now trying to make a quick money grab,” Findling said at the time. “Garbage like this doesn’t belong in the legal system—it’s a waste of time and resources.”

DaBaby Discusses The Lawsuit With Bootleg Kev

Additionally, Baby targeted Bills on his recent diss song, “LAWSUIT ON A WEDNESDAY.” He rapped: “He was gangsta before, now you suin’ me, huh?/ That tough sh*t, he don’t wanna do it no more/ Out the spot, ain’t want nothing to do with the whore/ Before I walk out the house, tuck my toolie before.” Check out his latest comments on the legal drama below.

Spice will be dropping her debut studio album, Y2K!, on July 26, 2024. During a recent interview with Zane Lowe, she explained how she decided on the inspiration for the aesthetic direction of the project. “Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I’d see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form,” she explained, earlier this year. “It’s duck nails, it’s a tramp stamp. It’s brown lip liner no matter where you go. So thankfully I had her as my inspo growing up. And of course, just like the internet, you feel me? Just like anyone else.”

Kendrick Lamar’s First Reaction To Drake’s “Family Matters” Revealed

June 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar and Drake went toe-to-toe on the night of May 3rd. Overall, it all started in the morning when Kendrick dropped “6:16 In LA” as a follow-up to “Euphoria.” That night, Drake dropped off “Family Matters” which was a scathing track that accused Kendrick of colorism and domestic violence. Less than an hour later, Kendrick returned the favor with “Meet The Grahams.” In what some say is the most sinister diss track of all time, Lamar accuses Drake of being a deadbeat father who allegedly employs sex offenders and allegedly is one himself. It was a shocking song that was then followed up by a club banger the next day, in “Not Like Us.”

While appearing on Bootleg Kev’s show, Compton artist JasonMartin spoke about the beef and how he had a direct line to Kendrick throughout the whole thing. As you can see in the clip below, Martin explains how he texted Kendrick following the release of “Family Matters.” Based on text messages sent by Kendrick, it appears as though he wasn’t sweating Drake’s response. Instead, he told Martin that he had been waiting for a response. Martin then recalls going to the bathroom and by the time he was done, “Meet The Grahams” had been uploaded.

Kendrick Lamar Gets Immense Praise From Jason Martin

Martin noted throughout the interview that while he enjoys Drake, Kendrick is on a whole different planet with his music. Furthermore, he believes Drake simply didn’t understand the kind of tactician he was going up against. Considering how the beef played out, it is clear that Kendrick outsmarted Drizzy the whole way through. Even now, Drake has been left scrambling, with his “U MY EVERYTHING” and “Wah Gwan Delilah” verses being panned by critics.

Let us know what you thought of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Kendrick came away with the obvious win? Or do you think that there is a good case to be made for Drake at this point? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

NBA Youngboy Gives Surprising Answer To Question About Rod Wave Collab

January 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week NBA Youngboy sat down for an interview with Bootleg Kev for his podcast. During the interview, the rapper gave a number of strange and attention-grabbing answers to questions. One of which was when he revealed that he’s not “really big” on the idea of fatherhood as a concept. Some fans found that pretty surprising as he has 11 different children. But others used that same fact as proof that the statement makes a lot of sense.

In another clip from the interview, he discusses a potential collaborative project with Rod Wave. The Florida rapper and singer has a pretty big year on the back of his new album Nostalgia. Youngboy had plenty of praise for Rod as well. “That’s somebody who will be forever winning in the game. I think he love what he do. I think he’s so positive. I think he’s so taking in to the people of how he feel,” he said of Rod Wave. But when asked about a collaboration between the two, he didn’t think it was the right time for a surprising reason. “I think that would be a setback for him. My image f*cked up. I think I gotta stay in my own lane,” he replied. Check out the full interview below.

NBA Youngboy Says His Image Is “F*cked Up”

Elsewhere there were even more surprising claims in the interview. Youngboy has been under house arrest in Utah for more than two years now and he expects to one day be back behind bars. When asked about it Youngboy confirmed that he thought there was more jail time at some point in his future.

He did have some more normally interactions during the interview though. in one segment he cosigned Opium rapper Destroy Lonely.

NBA YoungBoy’s Friend Seemingly Disses Gillie & Wallo, Claims Only Bootleg Kev Interview Was “Approved”

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Bootleg Kev dropped his interview with NBA YoungBoy, which saw the 24-year-old rapper dissect his public image atop “Gravedigger Mountain.” YB shared the interview on YouTube alongside a message thanking Kev, writing, “I don’t want to be seen high and messed up.” This prompted some speculation among fans, who thought he could have been suggesting he was under the influence in other recent interviews, and didn’t want them to come out.

Now, a post from one of YB’s associates has only compounded this speculation. Herm Tha BlackSheep took to his Instagram Story yesterday to comment on the Bootleg Kev interview, claiming that it was the “only interview” YB “approved to drop.” Many commenters perceived this as shade towards Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267, who just chatted with the Baton Rouge native on their Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast.

“A lot of people like to have gangster energy with him,” Herm Tha BlackSheep wrote. “Instead of the people who actually killed they seed sh*t cr*azy. But ok.” Countless fans are chiming in, with many claiming that if YB didn’t want his Million Dollaz Worth Of Game interview to be released, he shouldn’t have done it in the first place. While it’s possible that YB didn’t want the interview to drop, it did have some standout moments. For one, YB told Gillie and Wallo that he feels as though he hasn’t been given a “fair shot.” According to him, he hasn’t ever been viewed as anything other than “uncivilized.”

He also hit the two hosts with a deep question of his own. He asked them what makes them happy, prompting some compelling responses.

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

EST Gee wasn’t feeling the line of questions in an interview with Bootleg Kev, so he dipped out on the podcast. Hitting Instagram, EST Gee revealed he didn’t leave because of being asked about his football past, as Kev suggested, instead due to questions about aliens and pornstars.

“@bootlegkev You tryna play it like I walked out cause of football like ain’t did plenty interviews talking about playing and talk about it in my music,” EST Gee wrote on his Instagram story.

“You asking me if I remembered an old man pornstar,” EST Gee typed. “If I believe in aliens and the NFL combine????? WTF do that got to do with my album dropping Friday? And I literally just walked out that interview 2 hours ago you already got a clip up??? You tryna go viral LOL 100.”

EST Gee closed with, “I got real life shit going ask around ion feel like playing so please don’t play with me cause I play crazy.”

Kev also wrote on Twitter that EST Gee’s team stated the rapper did not only want to talk about typical items like music and also went into his punctuality. “He came 90 minutes late (which isn’t unique with some artists) and didn’t ever really seem to want to talk or be interviewed. I don’t care, I’m still a fan of his music and we got a moment out of it for the Internet. No hard feelings.”
